Default What not to do

Im sure all of you expierenced riders know this... LET YOUR TIRES WARM UP BEFORE YOU GET ON THE GAS!!! my story...This morning about 20 min ago I woke up 40 min late for school, i got ready in 10 min and i pulled out of my garage went up the street, got on the highway leaned it over and GOT ON THE GAS... Im sure from behind i looked like rossi backing it in LOL, i think i almost slid out or highsided because i caught grip... but from now on out im going to let my tires warm up before i do anything like that again.

just ride it without leaning too much for 5 miles or so (depending on how cold it is ... warm up lap around your neighborhood lol) until rubber gets properly warmed up (expanded).

Weaves do nothing but accelerate tire wear. Numerous studies on it. Just ride it, best way to heat the carcass other than tire warmers.

you thoughts are out of wack. you concern should be not whether or not the tires are warm but do you really need to rush to anything while your on the bike.
if youre late, youre late! but if you rush while youre late then you will be early for that hospital visit.
